Summary

Primary: To test whether the delivery of A3-5 smoking cessation counseling (Assess, Assist, Arrange) in primary care offices is enhanced by a system that couples (1) an expanded vital sign intervention with (2) fax referral of preparation-stage patients for telephone counseling and (3) feedback to the provider. The question will be examined in a randomized trial, with practices as the unit of analysis and with a control intervention consisting of a conventional vital sign intervention. The experiment will therefore compare what intervention and control practices accomplish beyond simply identifying patients who use tobacco.

Secondary: To assess contextual factors that might affect implementation of the intervention and account for its ultimate success or failure. In particular, to assess: (1) environmental and practice-level factors that affect practices' ability to successfully implement and use the intervention and; (2) patient characteristics beyond readiness to change (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity) that affect willingness to use the quit line and complete counseling.
